Exclusive: Sony Pictures Television will link sixteen aspiring scribes with industry professionals and mentors for its six-week Diverse Writers Program.
Participating writers will have discussions with a number of creative executives, producers, seasoned writers and showrunners with the focus of honing their skills in writing scripted television. They will also network with industry professionals and be assigned a mentor from Spt’s pool of producers and scribes.
The writing program will conclude with the participating writers meeting with Spt showrunners and producers to be considered for potential staffing opportunities on U.S. projects. Of the sixteen participating scribes, Spt will select four with whom to develop pilot scripts for both comedies and dramas.
“We believe it’s imperative that underrepresented voices have the opportunity to tell diverse and authentic stories that haven’t been told before and to develop into tomorrow’s preeminent showrunners,” said Jeff Frost, President of Sony Pictures Television Studios.
